1837 Token HT-46, Not One Cent, BN MS (PCGS#77497)

August 2019 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Rosemont, IL

详细说明: 1837 Liberty - Not One Cent. HT-46, Low-31, W-11-120a. Rarity-2. Copper. Plain Edge. 28 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment, or rather the reverse rotated a few degrees clockwise from coin alignment. Warmly patinated in gray-brown, both sides retain appreciable rose-apricot color in the protected areas around and among many of the design elements. A bit lightly struck in isolated areas, generally toward the borders, much of Liberty's portrait is fully detailed, as is approximately half of the wreath on the reverse. Satiny in texture with a smooth appearance. A couple of stray marks in the left obverse field are mentioned solely for accuracy. A number of Mint State examples are known for this more available type, although this piece retains more mint red than the Dice-Hicks specimen. Ford's was a cleaned Unc. Comparable to the Choice Mint State examples sold as lots 10253 and 143 in our October 2018 and March 204 Baltimore auctions, respectively, this is a lovely piece that is sure to please. Provenance: Ex H. Rice, August 3, 1974; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
